I am dare I say fat for my age and I would like to lose about 40 pounds over the year and would like to be about 50 pounds lighter by 2009. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to lose the amount of weight I want to? (By the way, I don’t have to lose it all at once.)

Eat less calorie enriched food and try to eat more quantity. Make sure you excerise.

I have a journal of what I eat. http://www.my-calorie-counter.com This website is great. I would suggest reading about healthy living. A diet needs to be well rounded – have essential proteins, fats, and carbs. Try to eat a lot of raw vegetable products – carrots, celery, spinach – because they are typically low in calories, high in fiber, and you can trick your body to think it’s full. 😀

You should try a diet that is 1500 calories today consisting of 30% fat, 30% proteins, 40% carbs. Fats and protein will help curb hunger for long periods of time. To maintain a healthy diet, eat monosaturated and poly-saturated fats. Try to obtain your protein from white meat, fish, and legumes.

When choosing carb sources, stay away from simple sugars. Simple sugers give instinstaneous boosts of energy but digests easily. As a result, you become hungry within a short period of time. Fructose (sugar from fruit) is more complex than Sucrose (table sugar). Lactose (sugar from milk) is more complex than Fructose. But when you can, try to get carbohydrates from fiber instead of sugar.

I strongly recommend going to a doctor as loosing weight has a lot of strain on the body. The doctor can suggest ways that suit you and you body for this process. Never ever try having a drastic diet change it is really bad for you !
